Colt 45’s, though I do not know where they played before. The stadium was built by Judge Roy Hofeinz, along with the amusement park across the highway. I have a lot of fond memories of those times. It breaks my hear that it closed.

Here is a bit of trivia. One of the rides from that park is still a few blocks from me, sunk into fifty feet of water. It’s pretty cool.

That surprised me after the comeback vs the Indians. Most people thought the Bankies were a year away. Had they not comeback after his game 2 debacle in Cleveland, I wouldn’t have been surprised. But he then took them to game 7 of the ALCS vs an Astros team that won 101 regular season games. But I can’t believe I’m sitting here defending Joe Giraladi because I’m no Yankee fan!

Yeah, not sure what their thought process was. Perhaps they felt new blood was needed, or he had lost the respect of the players, or he made at least one bad managerial call during the Astros series (not challenging a controversial call, if I remember).

Well he coached one of the best staffs in baseball that produced 3 pitchers with 17 or more wins this year, Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer. And another starter, Mike Clevinger, whose ERA was 1.13 in his final 6 regular season starts. And coached one of the best pens in all of baseball with the likes of Andrew Miller and Cody Allen. And having studied under Terry Francona couldn’t have hurt.
